When I grep Products.ARFilePreview 2.2.2 there are a few matches for
ATFile
but none for
ATBlob

so I /guess/ that
type File with Product meta type ATBlob
can *not* be previewed with 2.2.2.


= Notes =

Experimentally, for a site that uses both
Products.ARFilePreview and Products.AROfficeTransforms,
prior to migration (to BLOBs), at
/portal_types/File/manage_propertiesForm
I made the following changes:

 * Initial view name: file_view

 * Default view method: file_view

 * Available view methods: file_view
   — /guessing/ that offering any other view to the user might lead to an error.

— is that work in progress?

Also, #4 mentions AROnlineDeskFile in connection with BLOBs, and
http://dev.plone.org/[…]/1.0-rc7?rev=106253 was recent (2009-12-08) but I don't know whether it's relevant to this feature request.

I just discovered very recent
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/atreal.richfile.preview (2010-01)
http://plone.org/products/atreal.richfile.preview

(and other interesting products in the atReal space,
http://pypi.python.org/pypi[…]rm=atreal&submit=search )

Please: is atreal.richfile.preview intended to succeed Products.ARFilePreview? Or is there no relationship?

Is this still a future feature?
